The Green Sanctuary Committee of the Brookfield Unitarian
Universalist Church plans to join the Religious Witness for the
Earth with a moral call for swift, bold, and comprehensive political
action to address global warming. We invite everyone who can walk
to join in a public pilgrimage to express the moral and spiritual
urgency of addressing global warming. People will be walking because
stopping climate change is a way to honor the sacredness of God's
creation and to recognize our responsibility to future generations
and to the poor. It's time for interfaith voices to ring out in
defense of creation and our most vulnerable neighbors. Brookfield
will be a midpoint on the walk, along Route 9. We will have walkers
and will assist site coordinators by hosting break spots for those
who are walking. Check out the website at http://www.climatewalk.org.
For more information, contact Mary Ann Adams at (508) 867-5145
or buuc01506@gmail.com.
